Throughout the summer Ospreys will continue to bring in nest material, and over the last few days the Manton Bay female has been picking up hay and dried grass from the fields behind the nest.

This afternoon she brought in a huge clump of hay and placed it in nest; right in front of the camera. She moved it around trying to find a suitable place for it and in the process ended up covering up her three strong brood!

5R, as has become the norm, soon delivered a fish, this time a Trout, and the chicks re-appeared in search of their share.
